How to Cancel a Netflix Subscription

By Tommy Boynton Updated 04/28/2022

There are so many streaming platforms these days, and maintaining a subscription to all of them isn’t necessarily sustainable. Some apps make unsubscribing an unnecessarily difficult process, but the good news is that Netflix isn't one of them. You can unsubscribe from Netflix anytime after signing up, and can easily cancel in a few easy steps. Read on to learn how to cancel your Netflix subscription.

How Do You Cancel Netflix If You Signed Up with Apple ID?

If you subscribed to Netflix on a web browser by providing an email address and password, you'll be able to unsubscribe by logging in and following the simple instructions in the section below. Most people will be able to unsubscribe using this method. However, there is an exception to the rule. If you subscribed to Netflix on the Netflix app on your iPhone or iPad, your subscription might be linked to your Apple ID instead. You can't unsubscribe directly from the Netflix app, however, you can follow the simple steps in this article to cancel the subscription on your iPhone or iPad. Using this method, you'll simply access your subscriptions via the Settings app or the App Store to cancel your Netflix membership.
